Answer :
let the age of son be x, so age of mother is x + 25
After 8 years, gather e of son is x + 8 and age of mother is x + 25 + 8
So according to give conditions
Now solving the equation
Multiplying both sides by
Multiplying both sides by 4(x + 25 + 8)
9(x + 8) = 4(x + 33)
Expanding the equation
9x + 72 = 4x + 132
Adding – 4x – 72 on both sides
5x = 60
Dividing by 10 on both sides
x = 12
So, age of son is 12 years
